Liane, this is fantastic! This is one of my very favorite color families, and I have 5 of the 8 you showed. Earl Grey Tea has become my favorite orange, and Ginger Chicken is such a great pick as a dupe in this color family. I just have a sample of Ancient Copper, so I’m glad to know there is no need to replace it. You are correct, I could avoid purchasing more in this color family for years. I have cartridges of Fire Opal, and it’s a great way to have this color for my pocket pens. The lubrication works great in a Kaweco Sport. Overall, I learned something here about the comparable inks, but you also reminded me how much I love orange, though it doesn’t take much. Thanks for sharing! 🤘🏼😸🧡🖋

Ginger Chicken is one of my favourite inks! It may be one of the first ink bottles I actually finish. 😱😍 I’ve also had a great experience with Ancient Copper. They look very similar to me, though I think GC is slightly more orange.

Great video. Diamine Ancient Copper is my number one favorite ink. I also like Diamine Vntage Copper, but have a tendency to steer away from it because of the shimmer. Agree about the kakamora nib writing so heavily that it's really not an accurate picture of how most of the inks actually perform.

I love the Earl Grey Tea and Ginger chicken by Dominant Industries! Yummy! I'm with you on the sound of opening the Monteverde Ink bottles. I think it reminds me of years gone by when more things were bottled in glass with a metal lid. Love it! Lisa

This video was helpful to me. Or at least, enabling. I have had Ancient Copper in my Pilot Decimo for a couple years years. I love the color, but my problem is that it is one of the worst for crusting on the outside of my nib. I have...many...pens inked up, so any one pen may be unused for a few weeks at a time. I am curious how similar colored inks would perform as to nib crusting. I just bought Dominant Industries Earl Grey Tea because, 1) people seemed to be raving, 2) it was on sale, 3) I love the name! I haven't compared it to Ancient Copper, and when I saw it in your line-up I thought I would regret the purchase (I try not to buy inks that are too similar to each other). By showing it as more orange, I was ink enabled. Well done! 👍😄

Diamine ancient copper is one of my favorite reddish-brown inks. Monteverde Fire Opal is lovely, too. But it is hard to see the difference between all of the inks samples.😅

Totally, the differences are so slight! I'm telling you, I do not need another bottle of ink in this color family. :)

I thought a dupe was supposed to be a cheaper lookalike of an exclusive or pricey brand. 😊 Beautiful dupes no matter what! My favourites of these swatches are Ancient Copper and Ginger Chicken. 🥰 I so enjoy swatch videos, so meditative and helpful when buying inks. 😇🩵🙏🙌

@lianelikes 3 ай бұрын

Thank you! I think you are right, dupes are technically cheaper alternatives for pricier products, so perhaps I'll have to consider changing the wording in future videos (because some of these inks are definitely not cheaper!!!).

I can't even get Ginger Chicken here in Europe. 🥺 But Diamine is easy to get hold of thankfully.

Definitely in the same camp with you on bottles of ink. Ancient Copper is on my shortlist of inks I am still on the fence, and likely a 30 ml candidate for me. Meanwhile, I will settle for Tsukushi which is more of a brown leaning with a shade of red.

@lianelikes 3 ай бұрын

Tsukushi is delightful, love it in my fine nibs...

apart from a permanent blue for work, i only use red-brown inks, so i really enjoyed this video. i have ancient copper inked up right now, but the pen writes so wet that it doesn't look reddish at all, pretty disappointing. montblanc red fox is also kinda similar to these, but it was limited edition, so when my bottle runs out, i won't be able to get it again 🥲

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for making this video! I recently got pricked by the brownish-red / blood orangey nib, and you make a video just in time for me to add to my list of wanted ink samples. Thank you! Apart from the Ancient Copper, the Sailor #873 is super pretty. They're all beautiful! And I agree with you about the Earl Grey Tea, I was kind of a bit disappointed when I saw it for the first time because I was expecting more brown
